Well they're different export mechanisms. I think the HTML4 ("html") export is
a bit older addition to the codebase.

This seems mostly reasonable. IIRC, stuff in the Save(-As) dialog are mostly
editable formats, and stuff in the Export dialog are more read-only formats;
I'm not sure the precise thinking about HTML in the Save dialog :-)

The one question I have is: Would we lose support with older browsers if we
moved export to a newer version of HTML?

Status -> NEW
